X-RAY GENERATION DEVICES AND METHODS

摘要

The present disclosure describes an x-ray generating device comprising at least one pair of rotating objects kept in constant frictional contact. In various embodiments, a first rotating object comprises an outer surface material with RDP of ∈1, a second rotating object comprises a second outer surface material with RDP of ∈2, ∈1 does not equal ∈2 and Δ∈ may be maximized by material selection, wherein the rotating objects are positioned in close proximity such that their first and second outer surface materials are kept in constant frictional contact, and wherein x-ray radiation is generated during rotation of the objects.
